Toshiba Creates Smart Vibrator
Researchers from Toshiba’s Japan division have developed a cell phone feature that increases or decreases vibration intensity depending on the device’s proximity to the user (think pocket here people). The technology, featured in a flip phone, works by measuring the amount of pressure, or tightness, on the flip phone’s lid. If the user is your ‘hip-hop’ type with baggy pants, then they should receive strong vibrations. If the antithesis, perhaps a tight wearing knit-wit, then they would receive a soft or gentle set of vibrations.
